Right, taking my cue from [furry], I would like to point out that South Africa isn't some horrible hole with no infrastructure, an infestation of mercenaries and a racism problem.

Nope.

Ok, maybe some racism still persists, but where doesn't it?

Be honest.

Anyway, read this:

And something you may not know: We have a freakin' EA dev studio.

Anyway, thought I'd put that out there. Now let me get back to my work.

What I'm doing to relax

Though I'm at work right now with nothing much to do, I've been working on a minor project at home that i was intending to blog about. It isn't a game, nor is it a normal application…

Nope. I'm coding, for -fun-, an OS from scratch. Eeyup.

Before you start rolling around in fits of uncontrollable laughter, I already have a kernel, with only a single segmented memory manager at the moment, but with full access to te entire potential 4gb address line of a 32 bit CPU.

In addition to that, I have some of the parts of the C standard library made (notably, memset, memcpy, malloc, free, putch, and puts), which I had to code from scratch.

I also created a fault message display module, that creates a wonderful Blue Screen Of Doom^tm (Not to be confused with the more common Blue Screen Of Death).

Anyway, pics when I get back to my PC.
